Reykjavík shore excursions

Reykjavík is Iceland's main cruise port, and many ships start or end their cruise here. Large ships dock at Skarfabakki in Sundahöfn, about 4 km from the city centre, and smaller ships often dock at the Old Harbour, right in town. From Reykjavík you can reach the Golden Circle, the Blue Lagoon, the Sky Lagoon, whale watching and lava caves in a day ashore, and many of our tours pick up right at the ship.
